Enabling a Business Service for Workflow Processes

---

Siebel provides a number of predefined business services. (See Predefined Business Services for a list of these services.) You can also define your own custom business services using Siebel Tools or Siebel Administration views.

To be displayed in a Siebel Workflow picklist, the Hidden flag for the business service must be set to FALSE. Additionally, you must set the Hidden flag for the associated business service methods and method arguments.

NOTE:  By default, business services defined on the Siebel Client are not hidden. Also note that business services, business service methods, and business service method arguments all have a Display Name property. The value of this property is the value that appears in the picklists on the workflow administration views.

To enable business services for Workflow

In Siebel Tools, from the Object Explorer applet, select the business service object.

Repeat Step 5 for each method, if applicable.
In the Object Explorer applet, select the method argument under the business service method.
